Custom Cakes near Irvine, CA

“This review is long overdue, but I highly recommend Ji's Cake Boutique for any custom cake or cupcake design for a special celebration.

I ordered a Hello Kitty cake for my daughter's 3rd birthday, and it was absolutely beautiful. Ji is phenomenal and pays close attention to every detail to ensure everything is perfect. My daughter was over the moon when she saw her favorite character, and all of her friends were excited too.

Ji truly thought of everything, from providing a special candle to packaging the cake in a beautiful clear display box that showcased the design perfectly. She even created a discreet opening behind the cake that made removing the fondant decorations incredibly easy. When it came time to serve the cake, I looked like a total pro and was able to cut and serve it within minutes.

And the best part? Oh my goodness, the cake was delicious! It was perfectly sweet and incredibly fresh. We chose the strawberry and vanilla combination, and it was a huge hit at the party.

Because the experience was so amazing, it was a no-brainer to order from Ji again for my son's 5th birthday. This time, she created a custom Buzz Lightyear cake that was absolutely breathtaking. The creativity and attention to detail were incredible. Even at an outdoor pool party, the cake held up beautifully. We chose the raspberry and chocolate mousse combination, and it was another crowd favorite. My son is still talking about his Buzz Lightyear cake to this day!

Ji consistently delivers cakes that are not only stunning works of art but also taste amazing. She goes above and beyond to make every celebration special and memorable. I highly recommend Ji's Cake Boutique and will definitely continue ordering from her for future birthdays and celebrations.“

“I tried this place traveling from Vegas for a wedding, and I would literally come back just for this shop. I highly recommend their roll slices, and their donut filled with custard. I went in and got some pastries, tasted one in the car, and literally WENT BACK inside to order more for the hotel room because it was genuinely the best pastries I’ve had. What I really like about this place is they don’t use any preservatives, and everything was super fresh and was natural. For example, the pistachio deserts didn’t have that artificial green food coloring look or flavor. Everything is baked fresh every day, and it’s the perfect balance of sweetness. It’s sweet but not REALLY SWEET, Just perfect and light. Everything I tried was also extremely soft and pillowy. I will definitely miss this place when I travel back to Vegas, and will make this a must stop every time I come to Cali.

Edit: I forgot to add that the prices are extremely affordable compared to places like popular 85 degrees, for better quality!“

“I love Cold Stone! I’ve been coming here a lot recently since discovering this location. The staff is very friendly, and I especially want to give a shoutout to Lacey. She is incredibly kind and always remembers my order, so I never have to repeat myself or worry about being disappointed. She’s also so sweet and welcoming to my little ones.Sometimes other employees don’t offer samples when my kids want to try flavors, but Lacey is always patient and happy to let us sample different options. It really makes a difference.Overall, the location is very clean, although it can get quite busy on weekends. Great job to all the workers—keep up the good work!“

“The cakes are premium. The employees are ok. Every little candle or bag costs money, it's ridiculous. The cake is already so pricey give the bag and candle for free at least.

FYI they can't order your cakes for you so don't waste your time. You only go here to pick up or eat in store.“

“I came in last night. The experience was fun! There was a young high school girl with redish hair and she was so friendly and kept the vibe going. Everyone in line seemed to love her service and she kept it going with every customer she got. The ice cream was soo good and not melted right away this time. I would recommend this place.“

“These guys really out did themselves. these cupcakes were the hit of my baby shower!! thank you so much.“

“Best ice cream in town! I especially love the coconut cream pie. My family loves the Monkey Business too. Customer service is top notch. Isaac, my server was friendly and helpful. Will be back!“

“The ice cream was amazing. Got a medium waffle cone and an ice cream sundae. Our first time here and will definitely be visiting again. The staff were nice with a smile on their face. Even helped us in trying two flavors but never got irritated with our questions. We got rocky road and cookies and cream.“

“We chose Penelope's Perfection to make something really special for my Mom's 100th Birthday party. The cake was spectacular. Everything & more we could have asked for. Highly recommended!“

“First time for trying their cakes, but gotta say, their weekend only Croissant selections are sooo authentic. Fresh, fluffy and flavorful.

Back to the cakes, we have taro and Black Forest(so many choices), way above average and can tell the true bakery soul. Moisture, no headache sweet, the cream is just so right. Need to digest the impulse sugar cravings, till next time, will try more.“

“I have had many of Shadi’s cakes for different occasions and celebration; I have to say, they are all so delicious and mouthwatering. Her apple Tart Tatin is to die for! Her cheese cakes are out of this world! Especially her Mars cheese cake is absolutely one of a kind. You have to try it to believe how delicious they are. Banana lovers, you must try her chocolate chip banana cake! It’s so yummy 🤤 Also as a person Shadi is as sweet or I should say truthfully sweeter than her Sweets 😉 She is always smiling and so pleasant to work with. You have a double advantage , not only you get a beautifully decorated cake it’s also super yummy and delicious that you have to fight over the crumbs! I highly recommend her to everyone!“

“I dropped by to try out some Keto Bakery. All I can say is WoW. The Pecan carmel squares, the chocolate donut, and the chocolate cream pie were down right amazing. They were sold out of the Banana cream pie. I'm gonna try that next time. Friendly staff too! 5🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“The cake had a simple appearance, and she could only write “Happy Birthday” in brown, which I found odd. I was initially a bit concerned—it was a thin, two-layer 8” cake for $50. However, the taste more than made up for it! It wasn’t overly sweet, and the strawberry filling with whipped cream frosting was absolutely delicious. I would absolutely order another cake from Bye Bye Sugar!!!👍🏾“

“Poul’s Bakery took our breath away , we couldn’t believe the cake we have taken pictures from we have searched the internet images and sent it to her the custom cake we wanted , and not only she made the identical one ,the taste was so delicious actually finished the entire slice, it’s rare for me to eat the whole slice, as many cakes are made with to much sugar , it overwhelms to entire cakes other ingredients, this was so perfectly balanced ,and l asked for second , so did few guests , we as host wished we ordered the bigger size , we don’t like the buttercream topping due to its excessive sugar , we ordered her soexisl topping , while you others ask no buttercream but we want Poul’s Bakery special topping we heard so much about it , sorry l don’t remember what it was called . My bad ,this Poul’s baker we also find out been around for decades as she is the second owner but uses the same original recipes. She said it’s a company secret Lol, we respect that Try Poul’s Bakery , it won’t s sidelong you and ask for a sample of their fantastic cannolis . And on the spot in events she actually make the cake front of your guests . We never tried that but people are ranting about it and went at viral with millions of views and shared ,,we saw it in her website . Poul’s Bakery didn’t disappoint us , give them a try Best from Goldstein family“

“Love their ice creams and their ice cream cakes as well��“

“most amazing cake ever for my 40th.“

“Fruit basket was a hit. No leftovers. Since it was Xmas Eve, they gave us some cookies and two loaves of bread.“

“New Location! 13662 Newport Ave C, Tustin CA 92780 (across the street)“

“I'm a Hagen daas guy, but I like to switch it up with BR31 every now and then.

This has been the best BR location because they make their ice cream just right. Not too sweet.

However, I'm writing this because of Christina.

Not only is this woman a ray of sunshine, but she makes the best cake for BR ice cream cakes.

Thank you, Christina 🙏🏽“

“Izzy’s Cake Pops created the cake pops of my dreams for a large event I hosted. The owner, Laura, was very communicative and pleasant to work with from start to finish. Guests were raving about the amazing details on their cake pops and also found them delicious. Laura’s transparency about ingredients used helped us navigate allergies and dietary restrictions with ease. I highly recommend Izzy’s Cake Pops for your custom dessert needs.“

“I love their chocolate strawberry cake with whipped cream & custard for 30 + yrs. Love the smell of the store! I wish they could pair with a bigger partner to stay in Irvine. I still follow the store as long as they are within driving distance!“

“Great customer service! Excellent details on custom Whiskey 🥃 & Cigar red velvet cake. He LOVED it! Thank you so much!“

“I ordered an ice cream unicorn cake for my niece’s 4th birthday Sylvia helped me placed the order when I had issues placing it through the website. Great customer service! & the unicorn came out so cute! ?Thank you. ☺️

The whole team always has great costumer service whenever I come by for ice cream!“

“Awesome service, went there to get one of their amazingly delicious ice cream cakes as my son’s birthday was coming. The staff was really nice, they answered all my queries. Best ice cream in town. I’ll be back soon.“

“👌delicious welk recommends“

“The best Cold Stone location that I have been to! The staff is so patient and willing to accommodate to my gluten-free allergy. The girl, Martha, went above and beyond by making my ice cream in the back to prevent contaminants. 10/10 would go back again!“

“Delicious ice cream and very clean place!“

“On Saturday 04/23/22 I bought a small cake, the person who attend me was name jazmin. She mention told me that the cake was tres leches, but when we cut the cake it’s flavor was chocolate. I didn’t think much and decided to keep it. But today 04/26/22 I bought another cake, again jazmin told me that the cake was chocolate bread flavor with mocha. When I cut the cake it’s flavor was vanilla cake with mocha. This time I did call the bakery and explain what happen, they told me to go back and they would give a chocolate cake. Upon my arrival to the bakery, jazmin was rude and didn’t want to give me a cake but instead give me the refund for the cake. On both occasions, she was rude and seemed like she was on a hurry. Would answer questions in regards the cakes with attitude and rudeness. I have been a faithful costumer for years to this bakery, and love the pastries and cakes. But this new person, needs to get better training or be replace.“

“The ice cream was delicious, as expected from a well\-known brand, but unfortunately I won’t be returning to this location\.

The music was playing far too loudly, which meant the employee had to shout and the customers were also speaking loudly\. It completely ruined the peaceful atmosphere I was hoping for while enjoying my ice cream\.

Some relaxing background music would have been ideal, but the excessive noise made the experience unpleasant\.“

“such friendly employees. while visiting disneyland, we stayed at a nearby hotel for two nights and came across this cold stone on 16 july.

the young lady and the young man working that day were both so welcoming and kind. they made us feel genuinely welcome, and their oreo shake was our favorite. we’ll definitely stop by again if we ever come back to visit that area.“

“friendly quick delicious“

“You can absolutely get amazing ice cream shakes here! My go-to would be the Oreo cookies and cream and definitely add in some extra Oreo cookie crumbles to be blended in! If you are ever near or around the area, check Cold Stone Creamery out! 5-stars! The parking is somewhat difficult.“

“Absolutely amazing experience at Cold Stone! The ice cream was delicious, fresh, and perfectly creamy. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and everything was made just the way I wanted. I’ll definitely be coming back again. Highly recommend! 🍦❤“

“It is a good location right near everything. It shares space with a sandwich shop which is uniquely different. Had to ring bell for service. Was very nixe and friendly once yhey did come out. Average prices for a tourist destination. Lot of ice cream to choose from.“

“hi hola buenas tardes adjunto el presupuesto de que el día viernes a la espera que ya no es“

“Best one in the area! I see some amount of bad reviews in the past, but I think the place has changed ownership since that and it's a day and night difference! Totally recommend to try out strawberry marshmallow - loved it. Also, they make really good waffle cones - they're not soft like most other places.“

“Obviously the flavor never changes, so the ice cream is always good. This location needs attention. They need to turn up the AC or fix it for costumers and employees.You still can't eat your ice cream inside unless you're standing, the chairs are just stacked and for some reason there's a big table right in front of the cashier register that makes it difficult to hear and order.“

“OK, idk why they have a low score, but this was my first time at this location and it went very well. Greeted upon arrival, helpful, willing to allow me to mix things up on a signature dessert, ice cream was delicious and loaded with my toppings. Very good!
Appreciate you Blake! 👏 🍨 😋
Located in Metro Pointe in the food plaza. Free Garage Parking, as well as above ground free parking lot.“
